Ken Conklin of Kaneohe Hawai'i, The Epitome of Evil Strikes Again with His Racism Against Hawaiians

Ken Conklin, formerly of Boston, Massachusetts now living in Kaneohe, Hawai'i struck again with his hate speech, trying to spread more of his hatred that he has for Hawaiians on August 8, 2005.

Considering that the United States is composed of 74% Caucasians versus .1% Hawaiians (see http://www.census.gov/prod/2001pubs/c2kbr01-1.pdf for these numbers in 2001.) Unfortunately he likes to twist words so that he plays the victim when the reality is that MANY Hawaiians are out-numbered, out-powered, out-educated, and out-casts in Hawai'i. Of course like a Hitler Wanna Be, he tries to appeal to people's emotions to encourage people to hate Hawaiians. Moreover he continues to target and single out Hawaiians which is a hate crime. Here is what he sent to the editor of the Honolulu Star Bulletin this month:

Kingdom set example of equity for all

Your July 31 editorial on the Akaka Bill repeats an old sob story. You say Hawaiian natives welcomed other races into their nation, and now we're holding that against them by denying them a racially exclusionary government.
Non-natives were full partners in the Kingdom and today are full partners in Hawaii. It is historically, legally and morally wrong for one partner to say to all the other partners: "Thanks for building our nation; now we're taking it over for ourselves." That's the same attitude that would have white Americans say to today's Asian Americans and African Americans, "Hey, we founded this country and you have no right to full membership."

Kamehameha could not have "unified" the kingdom without the weapons and know-how given to him by newcomers. In gratitude, he made John Young governor of his home island, and Young's tomb today lies in the Royal Mausoleum.

Non-natives brought written language and the Christian religion eagerly embraced by the natives. Non-natives who were native-born or naturalized became elected members of the Legislature and filled most cabinet positions for 80 years. Their investments created wealth, allowing the kingdom to prosper.

Whether through government service, investment, or laboring on the sugar plantations, non-natives were and are full partners. We non-natives are not holding anything against ethnic Hawaiians. Rather, we're defending our rights to full equality; we refuse to be turned into second-class citizens; and we suggest today's Hawaiian activists respect the decisions of their ancestors to have a multiracial society and government.

He should be ashamed of spreading racism against Hawaiians. More importantly he must be stopped before he is successful with the ethnic cleansing of Hawaiians.
